This Leopard Print Towel Set Adds Personality to My Boring BathroomLife
One thing about me? If it comes in leopard print, I’m going to buy it.

Some home design trends are destined to become classics that never go out of style (think: Shaker-style kitchen cabinets, hex floor tiles, and picture frame molding). But others are definitely more short-lived (remember spray foam decor?).The dark red wallpaper in this 1980s dining room definitely fell into the latter category.
